About us

Warmur is on a mission to accelerate home decarbonisation by making it easy for everyone to start that journey today. We help households get the most impactful energy and carbon saving measures for their budgets and circumstances. We’re building an innovative technology platform to help households visualise the effects of whole-home electrification, and help installers to streamline the process from contact with the customer to contract-ready jobs.

Our technologies are designed to take the pain out of the heating installation lifecycle, from decision making, through installation, to ongoing monitoring and support. Our core platform provides tools to make the process easier for both householders and heating engineers, including home energy modelling, customer and installer portals and APIs, and AI support tools tuned to provide practical advice around home heating.

Overview

We are seeking a skilled and dynamic Project Manager (PM) to play a pivotal role in scaling an early stage training business that upskills heating engineers. This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious PM to work closely with members of the senior leadership team across a range of commercial disciplines.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in project management and excellent organisational skills. The role will involve coordinating with various stakeholders, managing timelines and budgets, and ensuring the successful launch of the training program.

Background

The UK needs ~60k heat pump installers to meet our net zero targets, but two decades of training neglect has left heating engineers ill equipped to transition their skills and the existing training provision remains inadequate.

We have a premium in-person heating training course which is uniquely successful in upskilling gas installers. The existing training programme creates a fun and memorable learning environment with demonstrably better outcomes than our competitors, but only reaches about 300 installers per year currently.

By embracing the latest technologies, we are building a training programme that can reach 10,000s of heating engineers and fundamentally change not just how they learn, but how they do their jobs.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Project Planning and Management:
    • Develop a comprehensive project plan outlining key milestones, deliverables, timelines, and resource requirements to launch the training course.
    • Manage all aspects of the project lifecycle, from initiation to completion, ensuring the project stays on track and within budget.
    • Coordinate with subject matter experts (SMEs) and learning and development (L&D) consultants to create course content (including video and animation) that meets industry standards and regulations.
  • Stakeholder Engagement:
    • Coordinate internal and external stakeholders, including industry professionals, certification bodies, and training providers, to ensure the course content is relevant, up-to-date, and meets market needs.
    • Facilitate regular project meetings with stakeholders to provide updates, gather feedback, and address any issues or concerns.
  • Course Development:
    • Coordinate pilot testing of the course and incorporate feedback into final revisions.
    • Track the development of the hybrid course and certification processes and ensure milestones are met.
    • Help detail a future roadmap of additional courses and modules
  • Budget and Resource Management:
    • Monitor project budget, ensuring all costs are tracked and remain within the approved limits.
    • Allocate and manage resources effectively, ensuring the project team has the necessary tools, materials, and support to deliver the course on time.
  • Training Delivery and Support:
    • Oversee the scheduling and delivery of the training course, including coordinating with training providers and venues.
    • Provide ongoing support to trainers and participants, addressing any issues that arise during the course delivery.
    • Evaluate the success of the training program through participant feedback, assessment results, and post-course evaluations.

Qualifications:

  • Required Experience:
    • Proven experience as a Project Manager, preferably in the training, education or renewable energy sector.
    • Exposure to agile methodologies for software development
  • Desirable Experience:
    • Experience with course development and delivery, particularly in technical or vocational training, is highly desirable but not essential.
    • Previous experience working in a digital marketing environment may also prove useful.
    • Familiarity with the domestic heat pump industry, HVAC systems, or renewable energy technologies is highly desirable but not essential.
  • Skills:
    • Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple tasks, deadlines and stakeholders.
    • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to lead cross-functional teams and engage with a variety of stakeholders.
    • High attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
